Hong Kong General: Rebirth of Rage, Rising from Prison

Chapter 258 One Hundred Million US Dollars Vanished Without a Trace!

"Therefore, this time, I have prepared a bigger stage for Zhang Chongbang."

Chen Shixian's lips curled up slightly as he looked at the television.

Wearing a uniform with a windmill on his epaulettes, signifying a police superintendent, Zhang Wenyao faced the camera and solemnly assured them:
"Our police force will do everything in its power to bring the kingpin to justice and restore peace and prosperity to Hong Kong!"

Chen Shixian is very familiar with this face.

In the movie "Men's True Colors", Zhang Wenyao colluded with the Seven Sons of Tianyang and other rogues to cause the Central District bombing and steal 100 million US dollars in new banknotes transported by a US bank's armored truck.

However, although the value of the cases is similar, compared to the current Pan Asia Bank vault robbery and the street brawl of the kingpin gang, it's nothing.

After all, in previous cases, there was no live media coverage, no leaked photos of the scene, and no police officers kneeling down.

In terms of public opinion, the police have done a good job of suppressing it.

But this time, it caused an even greater sensation in the media and had a greater social impact.

As the commander of the Pan-Asia Bank robbery, Zhang Wenyao will undoubtedly play a significant role in the pursuit of the kingpin.

Therefore, the grand stage prepared for Zhang Chongbang needs his contribution.

In the police force, Cheung Man-yiu is a corrupt cop.

In Chen Shixian's eyes, Zhang Wenyao was an excellent pawn.

These corrupt and ruthless policemen are vulnerable from head to toe, making them easy targets.

"Brother Xian, once you've decided what to do, just tell us."

"We all listen to you."

Qiu Gang'ao said earnestly.

He knew that Brother Xian had planned every action in advance.

The time isn't right, and I won't let a word slip.

Since they've brought up the idea of ​​taking down Zhang Chongbang and his group, they must have a plan.

Everyone has reached a tacit understanding that they can trust Brother Xian; he won't go wrong.

"Ah Quan, you continue to keep an eye on the Thief King's movements."

Chen Shixian looked at A-Quan and gave him instructions.

"Yes!"

Ah Quan didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.

The kingpin fled from Guangdong, and the police still have no clue about him.

However, because Ah Quan had followed them all the way, they knew exactly where the thieves had been, where they had hidden, and how many of them were currently hiding in the Kwong Cheong Building.

"Before that, there's Ao, Bursting Beads, Ahua, and a billion-dollar gold mine waiting for us to pick up."

"Why not pick it up if it's free?"

"It's pointless to pick it up."

"Once I get this money, I'll go talk to the main character of our big show."

Chen Shixian said with a smile.

"Holy crap, there's still a hundred million US dollars?!"

The popping bead instantly perked up, its face flushed with excitement: "Brother Xian, shall we pull off another heist?"

"This time, should we go with Standard Chartered or HSBC?"

Qiu Gang'ao was much calmer. He said rationally, "We just finished a job. The atmosphere in Hong Kong is very tense right now. The police are patrolling the streets, and all the major banks are panicking and have increased their security forces. It would be very risky to make a move now."

"Moreover, some banks are even managed by our own security personnel. It's inappropriate to damage our own reputation."

Did I say I robbed a bank?

Chen Shixian raised an eyebrow and looked at Qiu Gang'ao and the others.

"If you don't rob banks, where would you get 100 million US dollars?"

"Bubble Beads asked with a puzzled expression."

"The police station!"

Chen Shixian picked up the wine glass on the table, swirled it under the light, admired the amber-colored wine in the glass, and said with a smile.

"Police station?!"

Baozhu, Qiu Gangao, Ahua, Aquan and the others all stared wide-eyed, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

If others don't know, how could they not know?

Banks have money, hospitals have money, airports have money, but consulates certainly don't.

It takes the police half a day to approve a car or a computer, so it would be a miracle if they had a hundred million, especially in US dollars.

"Clap!"

Chen Shixian threw a newspaper in front of everyone.

"A massive explosion occurred in Central, where a US armored truck carrying 100 million US dollars in new banknotes was brutally attacked and robbed in the street, resulting in injuries and deaths among many innocent passersby..."

Qiu Gang'ao and the others quickly glanced at the news and clearly saw its contents.

"Damn, a robbery with an explosion in the street, that's simple, brutal, and incredibly ruthless!"

"This bandit is even more ruthless than the three kingpins."

He sprayed newspaper with both hands and clicked his tongue.

"So, that 100 million US dollars is currently at the police station?"

After reading the newspaper, Qiu Gang'ao, unlike Baozhu who was just watching the excitement, quickly grasped the key information, which was different from the psychology of gossip.

"That's right, the money has already been packed up, we just need to go and bring it back!"

Chen Shixian spoke calmly.

Since he ushered in the era of major heists.

The three notorious thieves committed crimes in various places. After the Kai Tak Airport armored truck robbery, such cases sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Zhang Wenyao, together with the Seven Sons of Tianyang and a few other rogues, orchestrated the armored truck robbery in Central.

But in the end, he lacked martial virtue and harmed the Seven Sons of Heaven.

When the seven people set sail from Mount Davis, a capture operation was carried out, resulting in the deaths of three of them, turning the seven siblings into four.

Zhang Wenyao pocketed a hundred million US dollars all by himself.

However, because Tian Yangsheng and his four siblings were still missing and the amount of money was huge, he, like Zhao Dehan, dared not touch the money.

He played a trick, hiding all the money in the trunk of an old car in the basement of the Central Police Station.

We'll use it again when things calm down.

Now that Chen Shixian has confirmed this matter, he certainly won't let the money gather dust in the trunk.

"It's that simple?"

Bursting Beads, Ah-Wah, Ah-Quan, and the others all stared wide-eyed; this was simply unbelievable.

They took enormous risks to rob the vault and get their hands on the same 100 million US dollars.

Now, tell them that there are 100 million US dollars lying in the police station, waiting for them to pick them up.

It really feels like a dream.

"It's that simple!"

Chen Shixian nodded slightly, giving an affirmative answer.

A single piece of useful information or intelligence can be worth more than a thousand troops.

This is just like the Swiss bank account and password of Guan Caiba in the police story.

Remember this, it's free.

When Chen Shixian watched Hong Kong movies, he paid special attention to things like bank card passwords, accounts, and the location of money.

I'm hoping that one day it will come in handy.

He remembered that Guan Caiba's wife, Cheng Yingsi, had said that the Swiss bank account number was 3386776 and the password was 1279WKU, and that it was necessary to remember it.

He had already asked Wen Yongen to check the account information and verify that it did exist, but there wasn't much money in the account now.

That makes sense; a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

Moreover, a large-scale arms and drug dealer like Guan Caiba certainly has more than one account.

Chen Shixian didn't alert them, waiting for the day when he received a large sum of money so he could seize it all at once.

……

Entrance to the basement of the Central Police Station.

A repair vehicle stopped at the entrance, and two gatekeepers immediately jogged over to inquire.

"what for?"

Do you have a release slip?

The guard had a tense face and conducted a strict interrogation.

Qiu Gang'ao immediately got out of the car, handed a pass to the gatekeeper dressed in military uniform, and said with a smile, "We are from Umbrella Security Company."

“We donated a batch of surveillance equipment to the police force, and this time we are here to help install and upgrade the police force’s security equipment.”

"Please allow passage."

The gatekeeper took the pass, which did indeed have a proper stamp. Moreover, it's quite common for companies like Umbrella Security, which do business with the police, to donate equipment to the police force.

Just like some very wealthy people and big bosses, they also donate police cars and improve welfare benefits to the police force.

When they saw that the person was there to deliver goods or services and that there were no problems with the paperwork, they couldn't help but greet them warmly, saying with a smile, "Protective Umbrella Security Company, Mr. Li from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. We're quite familiar with each other."

"Your company made the security access control system for the police force, so why wasn't it installed by them this time?"

The gatekeeper started chatting with them.

Upon seeing this, the man with the bursting menthol cigarette immediately took out a cigarette case, gave one to each person, and then stuffed the remaining cigarettes into the pocket of the team leader.

He smiled and said, "The products donated this time are of the new generation and need to be tested."

“Our big boss values ​​the police force’s reputation with us and insists that we handle things well.” “Otherwise, we wouldn’t have made this special trip.”

The gatekeeper was overjoyed to see a brand new pack of Marlboro cigarettes. He quickly pulled up the barrier and said, "Thank you for your hard work. We won't keep you from your work any longer. You can continue with your tasks."

Qiu Gang'ao and Baozhu then waved to the gatekeeper and drove the car into the underground parking garage in a seemingly ceremonial manner.

After circling around twice, they quickly found Zhang Wenyao's nearly scrapped car, with license plate HK3421.

For those in positions of power, checking someone else's license plate is now incredibly easy.

It was easy to find out that Zhang Wenyao owned two cars, one of which he regularly drove and frequently visited the police station. The money wouldn't be in that car.

The other one is this dilapidated silver car that's almost scrapped.

Qiu Gang'ao parked the engineering vehicle next to the dilapidated car, blatantly took out his toolbox, and began opening the trunk.

The passing police officers saw them in uniform, pulling out ladders and other tools.

They were obviously there to do something, so no one paid any attention.

"Crack!"

The trunk opened with a click, revealing eight large black handbags.

"Wow!"

The bag of popping beads was heavy. When the zipper was unzipped, its eyes instantly shone with golden light, brighter than Sun Wukong's fiery eyes.

His pupils were filled with the symbols of Mikin.

Inside the bag, stacks upon stacks, completely full, were all brand new Mi Jin.

There are eight such bags in total.

This is different from robbing a vault; that's something you get through your own skills, with risks and pressure, and it gives you a sense of accomplishment.

This was free, like a dream, frantically picking up money from the ground, a feeling of ecstatic joy like a pie falling from the sky.

"Beat-up menthol capsules? Stop looking, load them into the truck first!"

Qiu Gang'ao picked up a bag, quickly threw it into the trunk, and said to the bouncy beads.

The man was stunned for a moment due to a rush of blood and oxygen to his brain, but he immediately sprang into action, as if afraid the money would fly away, and quickly threw it into the trunk.

The group quickly finished moving and packing up their belongings, and even installed a security camera before getting into their car and driving away.

The trunk was full, full of money; a successful haul.

"Ah hiss!"

Bursting Beads pinched Ahua hard, making Ahua almost burst into tears from the pain.

"You damn old hag, you jerk, are you itching for a beating?!"

Even the mild-mannered Ahua couldn't help but swear.

"I'm sorry, Ah Hua, I just wanted to confirm that this isn't a dream."

The popping bead chuckled.

"Damn it, why are you pinching yourself instead of me?"

Ahua was speechless: "If this isn't real, how could it be cooked? The trunk is piled high with money, how could it be fake?"

"Let me verify it. The money came too easily, and things were too simple. I'm shocked."

The bursting beads were trembling with fear.

"Damn, do you really have to pull off something like the King of Thieves, a street shootout, a fight amidst a hail of bullets? Or maybe this money is fake."

"You think it's too easy to take?"

Qiu Gang'ao gripped the steering wheel and glanced sideways at the Exploding Beads.

"No, Brother Ao, it's really too easy. This is a hundred million US dollars, not a thousand dollars."

Don't you think it's too simple?

"In no time at all, I've got a hundred million US dollars. You can't even pick up money this fast!"

The popping beads made a loud, clamoring noise.

"Ahua, do you also think it's easy?"

Qiu Gang'ao turned the corner and looked at Ahua in the rearview mirror.

"Easy, right..."

Ahua looked at Qiu Gang'ao and then at the bursting beads. The kind-hearted man stammered.

"Simple, why is it that we took the money but others didn't?"

Qiu Gang'ao smirked and asked in return.

"Because, Brother Xian has information that others don't."

The popping bead reacted quickly and answered directly.

"Yes, Brother Xian has a message."

Qiu Gang'ao patiently answered, "How many people have seen the news about the Central District explosion and the theft of 100 million US dollars?"

"But nobody can find where the money is."

"Including the police."

"Brother Kexian did it, do you still think it's easy now?"

Bursting Beads and Ahua suddenly realized what was going on and shook their heads.

"It's simple when we do things with the answers and results in mind."

"It's just like when we were in the police station, solving cases. After we knew the outcome, when we looked back at the cases, we felt that they were all very simple."

"But when solving cases, everyone works day and night to investigate, searching for suspicious points and clues from thousands of threads. Is that easy?"

"not easy."

"Similarly, Brother Xian was able to unravel the mystery from a news report and find out that the money had been embezzled by Zhang Wenyao."

"Find the place where he hid the money."

"That's the most difficult part in itself."

"Withdrawing money is just the simplest part of the whole process."

Baozhu and Ahua nodded repeatedly, and Chen Shixian's image grew even taller and more imposing in their hearts.

The car sped along the road, carrying a full load of harvest, back to the village base.

……

Central Police Station.

Zhang Wenyao sat at his desk with a solemn expression. The case of the three notorious thieves robbing Pan Asia Bank was now making headlines.

The police officer dropping his gun and kneeling down has led to a serious lack of trust in the police among citizens, and has even raised questions about their authority.

The case caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong, leaving him, the commander, in a state of utter chaos.

The higher authorities also put pressure on him, ordering him to give the citizens an explanation within ten days.

He has already made a solemn pledge to the media that he will find the kingpin within ten days, or he will surrender his gun and take off his hat.

But right now, I have absolutely no clue.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Zhang Wenyao looked toward the door and frowned.

"Sir, someone just handed me an envelope, claiming to be able to provide clues about the King of Thieves."

A policewoman walked in and handed over an envelope.

Zhang Wenyao's eyes lit up. The police had offered a reward for the capture of the kingpin. Although there was a lot of fake news, it couldn't be completely dismissed. There might be some real information among them.

He took the envelope, opened it, and looked puzzled. Inside was a card with the address and phone number of a hot spring resort on the front.

Upon turning the card over and looking at the back, Zhang Wenyao was instantly horrified, his face turning deathly pale.

On the back was the license plate number of his beat-up silver car, HK3421.

My heart jumped into my throat and started pounding wildly.

"Who gave you this envelope?"

"A man."

"What's your name? What do you look like? What are your distinguishing features? Are you registered?"

Zhang Wenyao stared at her with concern, bombarding her with a series of urgent and fierce questions, which startled the young policewoman.

She answered cautiously, "I had the man register, and he wrote four words in the register: 'A good man,' and then he left."

"As for what it looks like?"

The policewoman thought carefully: "He's very tall, has deep-set features, and is exceptionally handsome, does that count?"

"A good guy, and really handsome?"

"Damn it, what kind of information is this? As a police officer, don't you even have this much observational skills?"

"What job are you doing? You're such a lovesick fool, go back home and get married!"

Zhang Wenyao angrily berated the policewoman until she cried, then hurriedly banged on the door and left. After taking only a few steps, he turned back to his office, grabbed the card, and rushed to the basement.

I jogged to the car.

Zhang Wenyao inspected the car's exterior and found it to be intact, which put his mind at ease.

He quickly opened the trunk.

The moment he saw the trunk, he froze, a rush of blood to his head nearly made him faint, and he vomited three liters of blood.

The trunk, which was originally full of black tote bags, is now completely gone!

One hundred million US dollars have vanished without a trace!
